The boxed edition is real, and New Zealand has it first. PS5 disc pre-orders for Jonah Lomu Rugby Challenge 4 Remastered are open right now at three Kiwi retailers, ahead of the worldwide launch on PS5 and Xbox Series on 28 August 2026.

Where to pre-order in New Zealand

• JB Hi-Fi — pre-orders open, backed by JB's pre-order price guarantee: if the price drops before release day, they refund the difference.
• Savvy Badger — pre-orders open, shipping early so New Zealand orders land on release day.

Pricing sits with each retailer — it's on their product pages.

What's in the

The PS5 disc edition of the latest chapter in the Rugby Challenge series, remastered in tribute to the legendary Jonah Lomu and rebuilt for modern hardware — native 4K at a smooth 60fps, with upgraded visuals, more realistic players, updated stadiums and improved lighting. No licensed teams — just fast, hard-hitting rugby and pure sporting fun.

• 10 dynamic set-play options, including the game-changing Cross-Kick.
• 16 international Men's and Women's Sevens teams across more than 12 competitions.
